Unit heaters should not be used in an application where the heated space temperature is below
40°F (4°C). Operating under low ambient conditions may cause condensation to form in the heat
exchanger.
Do not locate the heater where it may be exposed to water spray, rain, or dripping water.
Refer to the venting instructions provided with the unit for venting requirements.
Refer to the following sections of this manual to determine where to suspend the heater: Heater Throw, Mounting
Height Requirements, Hazards of Chlorine, Dimensions, Clearances, Weights, Combustion Air Requirements,
